Dina and Dan Discuss Again The Map (This May Be A Repeat)


otherwise it seems that to begin with such a thing unlikely
that equipped with a little detail, you might see the coasts
and yet to also want of us one code of behavior

and another, secret code, and because the latter is difficult, let it be the true one
though to know which one we were headed to and by extension not which one
would have perhaps saved us some time. How valuable is it now, if it were to end up along side             some shore that has not changed

a land to which they will always just arrive full of these exaggeratedly harsh palms and crowded             streams.
First here, as without annotation, a voyage without sea, this inattention to useful limitations
from all kinds, of a worst night, that would give you all joys

I might have tried to conceive of it liberated from duty. But it was
a new land, and the ignorance of my hosts tired me.
How could they not know I’d arrived?
